The Contessa 43, designed by the famous Doug Peterson and built by the renowned Jeremy Rogers shipyard, is an iconic sailing yacht from 1980. With a length of 13 meters, a width of 3.9 meters, and a draft of 2.3 meters, this yacht is excellently suited for ocean voyages and offers an outstanding balance between performance and comfort. The clearance height of 21.5 meters makes the yacht versatile, suitable for both inland waters and open seas.
The hull is made of polyester, known for its durability and ease of maintenance. The round bilge shape provides extra stability and seaworthiness, essential for long sea voyages. The yacht has a classic and timeless appearance with its blue hull and white superstructure.
Inside, the Contessa 43 features a comfortable living space with a headroom of 1.9 meters. The accommodation offers three fixed berths and three additional berths, making it ideal for longer trips with family or friends. The interior is well-equipped with modern amenities, including:
The water tank has a capacity of 300 liters, sufficient for long journeys.
The engine is a Perkins 4.108 inboard diesel engine with 50 hp, with only 920 running hours. This engine provides a cruising speed of 14 km/h and a maximum speed of 25 km/h. The fuel tank has a capacity of 50 liters, contributing to the ship's efficiency. Recently, the engine has been thoroughly maintained, with the replacement of essential parts such as oil, filters, and impellers.
In terms of navigation and electronics, the yacht is equipped with advanced Raymarine systems, including:
These technologies ensure safe and accurate navigation, even in challenging conditions. The electrical systems on board are excellently organized, with an alternator, inverter, and shore power connection.
The Contessa 43 has a single aluminum mast and four sails (mainsail, genoa, spinnaker, and gennaker), with stainless steel rigging for optimal reliability and safety. The lines have been recently renewed, significantly facilitating the handling of the sails.
Safety is a priority, and the owner has specially prepared the yacht for a world voyage. It is equipped with a brand-new liferaft, only four months old, including:
Additionally, new life jackets (275N) and a new autopilot have been installed. For extra safety, the yacht is equipped with a forward-looking echo sounder, ideal for areas with many reefs. Moreover, a heavy-duty watermaker (1150 liters per hour) is on board, making the yacht self-sufficient on long journeys.
For ocean voyages, the yacht is further equipped with a dinghy with a 20 hp outboard motor, making the yacht very suitable for long sailing trips to remote destinations.
With its impressive history, including participation in and victories in the Ocean Race, the Contessa 43 is a yacht that offers both performance and comfort for adventurous sailors seeking a companion for world voyages.
